Another Page Turns....

On May 14th Dom lost his battle with Cancer, though he NEVER stopped fighting. From the time this site was created to that last day he was trying with everything he had to find another facility and / or doctor that would accept him and his case. It seemed like just when were making some forward motion something else knocked us back 10 steps. At this point, I'm not even sure how many different places we contacted, but no one was willing to try to help. Dom battled several infections during the last couple of months as well; some of which caused him to have to go through pic line replacements, a very uncomfortable procedure. Through it all Dom kept his sense of humor and never complained about the personal Hell he was going through. In his many attempts to write his thoughts down one of his main concerns was not of himself but of those he would be leaving behind. Don't get me wrong, he was scared and wasn't ready to give up the fight and go Home. But, he wanted to ensure we knew life "must" go on and asked that we don't let his loss devestate us.

I know in my heart that even though my pain seems too much to bare at times, his is finally over and he is in God's loving arms. His struggle for life is finally over; he no longer has to fight. Now, instead of me trying to take care of him, he's looking down from Heaven watching out for me.
